B. Composition
Eggins 2004, p.43 says that composition is the relationship between two items which indicate the partwhole relationship. This relationship can be realized
through meronymy and co-meronymy.
1. Meronymy
According to Lipson 2004, p.132, meronymy is a relationship between two or more items which shows the part to whole relationship or vice versa. For
example is the relationship between lung and body in which lung is a part of body.
2. Co-meronymy
Co-meronymy, according to Eggins 2004, p.43, occurs when two or more lexical items are related because they are parts of a common whole. For
example, the words machine and brake are parts of a car in which if a car does not have both of them, it cannot work.
C. Expectancy Relation
Expectancy relation is a kind of relation in which there is a possibility between words to co-occur. Lipson 2004, p.132 argues that it depends on a
certain association between the words. The relation can be realized through the relationship between a noun and a verb or a noun and a noun. For example is in
the relation between teacher and teach or doctor and diagnose in which the verbs
indicate the thing that the nouns do or between heart and disease in which heart is usually correlated through the coronary disease.
2.2.2.3 Conjunction
Conjunction cohesion helps the text bind the elements together. Halliday and Matthiessen 2004 in Eggins 2004, p.47 argue that there are three main
types of conjunctive relation; elaboration, extension, and enhancement. According to Eggins 2004, p.47-
48, “elaboration is a relationship of restatement or clarification”. It means that the conjunction indicates the relationship within two
clauses in which one clause functions to restate or clarify the other clause through the use of it. The conjunctions used in this type are such as in other words, thus,
that is to say and in fact. Besides elaboration, there is extension. Eggins 2004, p.47 says that
“extension is a relationship of either addition or variation”. It means that the conjunction shows the relationship between two clauses in which
one clause functions to add the meaning of the other clause by addition or change the meaning by variation. The conjunctions used in this type are such as however,
in addition, and, or, but, and moreover. Meanwhile, “enhancement refers to ways
by which one sentence can develop on the meanings of another, in terms of dimension, such as time, comparison, cause, condition, concession, etc.” It means
that a clause develops the meaning of another clause by one of above relationship. The conjunctions used in this type are such as therefore, although, consequently,
similarly, meanwhile, nevertheless, etc which shows the relationship of time, comparison, cause, condition and concession.
